MOSE, bulky plant-dyed yarn, Old Norse sheep, 50/100g

MOSE is the yarn STORM dyed with tansy. The wool from Old Norse sheep consists of long shiny cover hairs that protect the sheep from weather and wind, and a soft and warm core wool. Both of these fiber types are carded together and spun into yarn. It produces a glossy, warm and robust yarn that is well suited for sweaters and mittens, among other things.

Some loose wool hairs will appear after the first wash. You should knit a test piece, wash and dry it and then measure/calculate the number of stitches/needle thickness before larger projects.

NOTE! We dye in small batches at our studio and that's why the color can become lighter or darker than what's in the photos. In winter we use dried tansy which gives less color yield than fresh plants, and therefore it is difficult to get a strong green color.

Same thickness as SAND, STORM, FULL STORM, SKY, ROGN, JORD and SNØ.
